Michelangelo (1475-1564), Italian painter, sculptor, architect, and poet whose artistic accomplishments exerted a tremendous influence on his contemporaries and on subsequent European art. Michelangelo considered the male nude to be the foremost subject in art, and he explored its range of movement and expression in every medium. Even his architecture has a human aspect to it, in which a door, window, or support may refer to the face or body, or the position of architectural elements may suggest muscular tension.
Michelangelo continually sought challenge, whether physical, artistic, or intellectual. He favored media that required hard physical labor—marble carving and fresco painting. In painting figures, he chose poses that were especially difficult to draw. And he gave his works several layers of meaning, by including multiple references to mythology, religion, and other subjects. His success in conquering the difficulties he set for himself is remarkable, but he left many of his works unfinished, as if he were defeated by his own ambition.

this can be a troublesome call, yet i imagine Da Vinci has a mild lead. Raphael ought to conquer them both in portray. those 3 adult men are the most ideal painters of the severe Renaissance. Michelangelo is as talked about for sculpture as for portray or more beneficial so and he grow to be an architect. Da Vinci also grow to be a sculptor and an architect. He grow to be also an inventor and a scientist. Raphael had a shorter existence than Da Vinci or Michelangelo.

He was one of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He fought the Evil Shredder alongside three others...Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael under Master Splinter's tutelage. His favorite weapon is the nunchaku usually one set in each hand.
